SD card problem

Well my motion just stopped reading my card. I can't mount it. I was just listening to music and then it stopped reading all my songs. I restarted, nothing. I flashed it with the stock firmware, nothing. I read that you have to format the sd to fat32? But I can't connect my sd to my computer. I don't have another sd card, sadly. But I guess I'll get a mirco sd card reader from Best Buy's tomorrow. Is there anything I could do as of now to fix this? Sorry if I don't reply, pretty late and I might just sleep on it...

Edit: I forgot, I think this is my SD card: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...bile+microsdhc+flash+memory+card+sdsdq-032g-a
 
you should be able to format the card while it is in the phone. Go to settings-storage-format SD card. You'll lose all your data but you can transfer it back over USB if you can find the cable. Do you have a cable?

but my phone can't mount the SD card. when I connect to my computer I can't see my sd card
 
Oh okay that cleared that up in my head. Yeah the card reader would seem to be the way to go. It sounds like a card issue since it stopped in the middle of playing.
 
Not one person has mentioned this as of yet besides you and me but trust me thus is a real problem it is what i refer to as the one and only real bug.it has happened to me on all firmwares and just exactly as you say it. The only thing that you can do is stick it in a pc and see if it can read it. If so copy all data to a new folder on the desktop or something. Format the card in Fat 32 on the pc and copy your data from new folder back to the card. Don't forget to properly eject card from windows our else you will have a card that's not readable again Put it in phone and you should be good to go.if not transfer data back to the folder and format the card with the phone. The only thing you can do is put firmware ms77010e or f since I've been on e it has only happened twice now before on d it drove me nuts. If more people say they have this issue I will put a logger on it to trace the error or i will see if a Lil force close finder can catch it.but as of now there is no known permanent fix. And if you restart your phone there's should be a Lil icon pop up telling you that your sd card is blank and that you have to format it before you can use it. You can do that too if you get the popup
 
Oh and I just checked you sd card out. If you like having that much room then get a real card that's class 10 and a better brand like pny or higher priced SanDisk is fine for a pc or a camera but they fail hard for phones I've burnt 2

I had a PNY card. Class 10. It lost all of my data. Luckily I backed everything up to the cloud (Google+ and DropBox).

Used chkflsh.exe. Errors all over the card. Even after formatting. However, I reformatted in NTFS, then exFat, then back to Fat32. Did another chkflsh.exe. No errors.

I am doing a RMA process with the card right now.

I have the card back in my phone in the mean time, but I have just purchased a SanDisk UHS-1 card (Class 10) and hope it will not have the same issues.

TBH, the best reviews on Class 10 microSDHC cards appear to be with Adata.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks a lot, I'm going to do this today. I'll get a sd reader for my pc. Hope I get my sd working again. If not I'll just buy another one. Thanks agian

I went through two of those cards (32GB) & both failed after about a week or so of use. It would unmount a few times at first & restarting would correct the problem for a bit, then they just became unreadable. Hopefully you won't experience the same problem & I was just unfortunate enough to get a bad batch.
